Lucy - who stripped down to her smalls to show off her amazing body in the magazine - let Tulisa know exactly what she thinks of her after being banned from last year's FHM 100 Sexiest Women In the World party - apparently on the instructions of the N-Dubz star.

“I have no respect for Tulisa, I think she’s a bit of a bitch," she said.

Talking about the sexy shoot, Lucy said: “We had such a laugh on the shoot and it was a bit different.

“It was more natural and fun than the shoots I normally do, so I think it will be nice for people to see me in a different way.”

And Lucy was refreshingly honest about why she keeps herself in trim too, saying: “I like having a nice bum. I put a quote on Twitter the other day. It said: “I work out for my health so I can live long… Who am I fooling? I work out so my ass will look banging in jeans.”

The full interview appears in this month’s FHM Magazine, on sale on Thursday. Visit www.fhm.com/lucy for an exclusive behind the scenes video from the shoot.
